Abstract :
An inexpensive EKG telephone transmitter is described that can facilitate remote monitoring of potential cardiac patients. It can be particularly useful in automated mass-screening programs, battery-life pacemaker studies, and routine but short-term rhythm sampling. An alternate version incorporates touch-tone capability to allow operation with an unattended computerized monitoring facility.
